It Can Be Arranged [mp3 download]
words and music by Lee Paxton © 2005
Looking up at the big screen, standing in the pouring rain
drinking straight from the bottle, trying just to ease your pain
An old man in a trench coat steps down off the train
saying, "If you want to get lucky, babe, you know it can be arranged"
It can be arranged, It can be arranged
so many things in this world just make you want to go insane
we get all kinds of tired trying not to lose our brains
the boss man asks if you'd like to get fired, 'cause you know it can be arranged
You woke up this morning, and what did you see?
A great big old monkey-man was standing right down at you, gee
he was eating a banana and singing, "Home, Home on the Range"
he said, "If you'd like to get murdered, baby, you know it can be arranged"
It can be arranged, It can be arranged
so many things in this world just make you want to go insane
we get all kinds of tired trying not to lose our brains
and if you'd like to sing this song, well you know it can be arranged
Look at old Zimmy, about the War now he don't got much to say
but if this was 1964 he'd prolly be speaking out without delay
the Peace Movement needs all it can get, and the absence seems so strange
but if he thought he could get some money, well you know it could be arranged
It can be arranged, It can be arranged
so many damn things up this world make you want to go insane
we get all kinds of tired just trying not to lose our brains
if you want to sing my song, baby, you know it can be arranged
George Dubya in the White House, the American people must be insane
for an ex-drunken frat boy that probably used to snort cocaine!
He never put his own life on the line, but he could snort a line and look for the blame
I bet he turned to his daddy, and said, "I'm gonna get you old Hussein"
And, It can be arranged, It can be arranged
there's so many things in this world that make you want to go insane
we get all kinds of tired just trying not to lose our brains
if you want to sing this song, well you know it can be arranged
Yeah, you know it can be arranged
